/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Does anybody have any good shops for sex toys/has anybody ever ordered things of that nature before?

my order came in! i'm really happy with it overall. it was a big one, with a bunch of wigs for friends. I ordered a xl long blue galaxy skirt thinking i'd have to take it in (when they all sold out that was all that was left) but embarrasingly enough it fits me well. the shirt is horrible though, baggy around the waist and tight as anything on the sleeves.
got some other great stuff i'm happy with too.

>>6887620
good start to the thread.
There's been a lot of talk about this already.

global.rakuten.com/en/search?k=&tl=&p=4&sid=dreamv

Is this legit?

Book print! What does everyone think?

Wrinkles everywhere, no clear picture of the actual print, kind of ugly from what I can tell.

What's the keyword/ chinese for yoga pants or work out pants

Laser cat anon, where are thou with that review?

Please?

>>6887673
suuuuper cute! is this a reservation or just a placeholder page?

>>6887676
anon, there's a photo of the print at the bottom of the lsting....

>>6887708
Reservation page it seems. If my google translate skills aren't failing me, there's a discount if the number of orders goes over a certain point. Here's a picture from an old thread where this was first mentioned.

>>6887676
I agree with the wrinkles. The photo quality in general is crap, which is why I wanted opinions.

>>6887708
>>6887710
I scrolled all the way down. Only shows one color.

Still, pretty... ehhh. Still can't tell the actual color of how the fabric came out. It is busy, which isn't a problem, but it looks messy. Like unnecessary business and patterns thrown on there. If they did a plan bookcase with more randomized books it would look better. But it all starts to fade together and it's unappealing.

>>6887775
My problem is the text. It looks cheaply shooped in. It's pretty graphic design-y with the repeated books, you're right.

>>6887849
yeah i just noticed the text....i like the books but not so much the words.

On the EMS website for tracking it asks for a 'tracking number' and a 'verification code'.

Bhiner only gave me a tracking number, as far as I know..? Or is the verification code a captcha that just isn't loading for me right now?

>>6888004
The verification code is the captcha

>>6887669

Yes. Have bought from them, items arrived etc. It's the English version of Japanese rakuten (same id):
http://www.rakuten.ne.jp/gold/dreamv/

which in turn is linked from the original dreamv website here:
http://www.dreamv.co.jp/?h=2&c=shopping

>>6888012
Thanks. The site has been loading for 20 minutes now and it still doesn't show the captcha, so I was a bit clueless.

Maybe it'll be faster later in the day.

>>6886855
I think the jacket is my favorite thing from that order, it's really nice! It's perfect as a spring jacket, so it's not very warm. It's like 100% true to the pictures. I also think it might be reversible too, it's a pattern with purple melting hearts and arrows on the inside. It fits me perfectly but I'm 160 cm and quite small, so for some the sleeves might be a bit short. The pockets are really small and useless, but you can figure that out from the pictures.

The tights are really good too and just as pictured. The fading from blue to white looks nice. They are thick but not 100% opaque. There's also another couple of angels (the same print) printed higher up on the tights, it was kinda unexpected but looks nice.

Greetings all!
I received my package last Friday. It took 4 months but it was well worth the wait... almost. I have a little problem with the items I got. I'm not sure if it's because of SEA shipping (all of the traveling) or if it's due to coming from China, but upon assembling the bed and throwing on the bedding we found bedbugs. I've only found two, but I know those things spread like crazy. Our place is very clean and I haven't seen a thing like this until after we put together the bed.

I'm not sure if the bedbugs came from the bed itself or the bedding, but just a heads up...

I have since put all of the bedding into the dryer to burn them and sprinkled some "diatomaceous earth" everywhere. If this doesn't work then we'll be shelling out some big money to have a professional do one of their chemical/heating exterminations...

I didn't post when I first received my package because I was worried about that. We had a pest control man come over and he confirmed that they are definitely bedbugs. I've been pretty busy dealing with that, and paranoid about everything...

So there's my update, and of course I will add some photos of everything later (minus the bedbugs).

And the lamps are a lot better in person than they are in the photos. I was surprised! The bedding, not so much. It was kind of thin and not nearly as fluffy as the stock photos, but I'm sure the original "princess bedding" is very expensive and everything else is just a replica.

One of the lamps burned out and short circuited after I put a bulb in and plugged it in... All of the others are doing great though!

>>6888408
I'm so glad you're alive!
Keep us informed, I hope you can fix the bedbug problem, it's worrying.

>>6888408
Ahh glad to see it finally arrived!
Not a bad weight with all things considered. Good luck with your bug issue!

>>6888408

Do you know where the bedbugs were exactly?

I hope it doesn't turn into an issue for you, anon. Bedbugs are an awful headache.

Arrival at Unit
June 4, 2013, 8:04 am

Currently it's 11:25am where I'm at. Anyone know if I'll receive the package before noon? I have to leave for class at noon and I don't get home until six.

Also: Every time I order with SAL it usually takes 2 weeks, 3 at most.

>>6888408

Glad to see you Furniture Anon! and I'm sorry about your bed bug situation, I hope it gets cleared up soon, I've seen what those things do to people.

Post some photos when you can

My order was dispatched on the 18th of May, destined for the UK but the Chinese tracking site says it's still in Guangzhou International, China.
Is it still being in China after two weeks a bad thing?

I'm sort of worried, I had hoped against hope it would be here for Wednesday.

Asking again - anyone with laser cat t-shirt, opinions on getting it for a rather built western dude?

>>6888609
Hell naw it ain't guna fit.
U fo' real?

It's fit very tiny for a petite girl, even the largest size... Believe me, I ain't no skinny as asian gurrllll.

>>6888606
WELL IT'D BE HELPFUL IF YOU MENTIONED WHAT SHIPPING METHOD YOU USED.
I live in the UK and SAL shipping always takes me at least 4 weeks. People over in the US get their packages via SAL in 2 weeks. EMS isn't worth the cost.

I've shipped DHL and it took 3 weeks.

>>6888614
I was thinking of the one from the store with male clothes though?
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.5.w4002-694562356.95.NDS2FE&id=24089516018

I might be in need of glasses, but the model doesn't look much like a petite girl?

>>6888683

This one is way better:

http://www.truffleshuffle.co.uk/store/unisex-psychedelic-crazy-cat-jumper-from-mr-gugu-miss-go-p-10938.html

>>6888618
Sorry! I totally wasn't thinking, SAL.
Okay, I'll give it 4 weeks. The US/UK thing makes a lot more sense, I hadn't thunk that all of these 2-weekers were just obviously a lot closer to China.

I want this kigurumi, but i am not sure about the size. It only gives hight measurements. I am 1.55 meter, so that would be a small. But i am a bit on the chubby side so i am not so sure about how my arms and thunder tights would fit. Any thoughts?

>>6888702
Forgot the link:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=17390386993

Here's a list on dA for stores (some may be similar to the ones in the spreadsheets):

http://mileyx.deviantart.com/journal/MASTER-LIST-OF-TAOBAO-STORES-NEW-FABRIC-SECTION-218188743

>>6888702
If you're just a little chubby, it should be fine. Kigurumi's are incredibly loose. However if you're obese...

>>6888028
Here.

I've tried over and over to load the EMS site but this is all I get. Any suggestions? Are there alternatives within China for EMS? (I thought I recalled reading about something like that in the FAQ but I can't seem to find it now).

>>6888848
Okay thanks. Just a little chubs with huge muscle tighs (thanks to doing horseriding and karate for years..), so i'm always weary with asian clothes cause that stuff can be incredibly tight around the boobs and arms even when I order a size L (Not everything is like that luckily, Infanta tends to do that, Chess Story not so much)

>>6888876
It looks loaded to me. When you click on the box that says verification, the verification code pops up underneath it. Have you tried that?

>>6888702
So, I notice that store only has 2 diamonds. I notice they also steal a lot of photos from other places and don't provide any of their own. They may be fine, or they may look like shit, but because kigurumis are so common, it'd be wise to find a store that at least has one crown.

>>6888984
So I've always just played it safe and ordered from places that others do or have, so I wasn't sure how the ratings work, diamonds aren't as high as crowns?

>>6888984
Crown-rated stores aren't necessarily better, it just means that loads of people have bought from them. Check individual item reviews or the seller feedback page, and the accuracy of item to description rating before making a judgement call.

>>6888884
>>6888888

>>6888968
I can't help but feel I'm doing something horribly wrong, haha. I've clicked the box but nothing changes & it won't let me hit the 'search' button.

It lets me type into both boxes but no verification code pops up.

6889030

>>6888984
This
>>6889012

I think the flowers are the actual ratings.

>>6889013
Hah yes, kinda like that only less extreme. It looks really out of place cause i have slender calves and legs and this huge musclebeasts of thighs.

>>6889044
Yep flowers are the actual ratings. It's all in the FAQ.

Cautionary tale for fatty-chans... if you get really excited because you see a cute skirt that would fit your waist measurement, there is a good chance that it won't fit over your butt/hips... just learned this the hard way, haha. Somehow I managed to get it over my head, but I had to take my bra off and do some gymnastics!

Skirt in question: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=22350168630

do you guys think it would be easy to add a zipper to it?

>>6889061
Flowers? What flowers?

>>6889064
Is the whole waist scrunched up or are there parts where it is flat? Sorry that it is hard to word what I mean.

If the whole wiast is scrunchy, it will be a little difficult to add a zipper but not impossible.

>>6889067
Read the FAQ it's in there. It's the seller's feedback page.

>>6889069
The whole waist is scrunchy!

>>6889075
Yeah then it'll be a bit difficult to add one but possible. I assume there is a circular elastic on the waist so you'll need to cut in that to add a zipper. You'll have to be careful when adding the zipper in since the part where you sew the zipper won't be as stretchy anymore.

>>6889064
If the skirt is fully shirred it won't really help much to add a zipper.

>>6889019
Nah, it's ok. Not your fault that the webpage seems to be acting up. Try this page, it might work better.

http://www.ems.com.cn/mailtracking/e_you_jian_cha_xun.html

Are there any terms to find clothes like this? I call them muscle tanks, but I'm not sure if they have an actual name. They're usually skin tight and yea. I'd like clothes with that kinda style too, it's grunge-ish.

>>6889111
dropped pic.

>>6889114
>>6889111
Here's another example if it helps.

>>6889087
Thanks, Anon! I apologize for being such a bother over this.

The verification code did show up on this page (though I had tried it before and it was not showing, for whatever reason; probably just a slow connection).

I deeply appreciate your help!

>>6889129
Not a problem at all, good to know it's working now.

>>6887620

I ordered bondage rope once, nothing very exciting at all. But it's nice, very soft and so on.

A lot of other people have complained about sex toys before. A few liked them. Reviews are mixed at best and some of the complaints were pretty worrying (e.g. someone complained about the plastic line on the dildo actually hurting them).

does anyone know of any shops that carry cute oversize sweaters? i just wanna buy a whole bunch of those for cheap

My CP pettis are still not at mt SS yet and it's been over two months. My SS has supposedly emailed CP +6 times, but no reply (except for the one time where he said it would come the 21st of May, which obviously didn't happen)

> Time to panic yet?

>>6889648
I ordered my CP petti through taobaoring about a month ago. It took CP around 5 days to ship it to TBR for me, and 2 weeks to get here.
I wouldn't panic, but make sure you get a refund or something. There's obviously been a major fuck up.

Anyone know what keywords I would use to search for cutsew's on Taobao? I tried lace t-shirt or doll collar t-shit but im not quite finding what i'm looking for.

>>6889648
Classical Puppets and White Moon Lolita are the fucking worse. They both also took over 2 months to order. I've ordered from them twice from two different shopping services and they both are incredibly fucking slow.

Don't panic, you're not alone, and your SS will get them, eventually.

>>6887620
I would not recommend it. I bought 18 sex toys (some very kinky) and the plastic dildos - some of the "seams" (lack of better word) were sharp and had not been smoothed out... I had to use nail clippers to clip away several small pieces of sharp plastic that were jutting out. Three of my vibrators were completely destroyed when lube got onto them... In short I would not recommend.

>ordered a bed set
>shopping service being difficult about it still
>shipping comes to 70usd
>mfw

With that said I think this will be my last order from taobao for awhile.

IT'S BEEN A NICE RUN WITH YOU ALL.

>>6890490
70 for only a bedspread?! Wow! Hopefully it will all be in fluffy wonderfulness. Also, be wary of bed bugs (furniture anon has them, not sure from what but be safe!)

Does anyone know what keyword to use when searching for a ball gown/evening gown?

I think I need help. Whenever I'm browsing the taobao tag on tumblr I get insanely furious at all the
"lol how do i order from taobao lol? :3c are they really that price lol? how do i find out things lol? :3c ^_^"
It's like-
It's fucking
You're on the internet. Just google search.
Why is everyone so fucking downies.

>>6890590
what the fuck is the littl 'c' on the end of the :3 face supposed to be?!

>>6890592
It's a little hand to the mouth uguuu :3c

>>6890526
bed bugs?
ew!
Yeah, I'll be careful.
And probably cry if there's any bugs in there

thank you for that warning

>>6890607
it doesn't look cute at all.

>>6890607
>>6890614

I always thought it was a frowning face with a mustache

>>6890490
>>6890526
I'm new to these threads and not quite sure who furniture anon is, but I agree with the person saying wary of them. I bought a very hime/princess-y bedding set and inside it I also found bed-bugs. A lot of those beddings are stolen photos and the result is a very thin and wrinkled cotton bedsheet... It's not nearly as nice as the photos. When your packages are open,you don't know what kind of organisms are crawling around. Especially over in Asia where lots of parasites and insects are. However, the SS I used was nice enough to offer me a partial refund (they're someone I am a long customer of).

Are there any shops that sell a lot of Sanrio and Rilakkuma accessories?

>>6890928
There is a metric fuckton of them. You should have a look at the Chinese words for those things, you'll be pleasantly surprised I think.

Just wondering, are any of my fellow taobaoers addicted to shopping at any other sites? I'm mental about ebay for example. Can't stop buying things that are a dollar with free shipping.

>>6890957
ebay all day everyday
Especially since a lot of the taobao stores are starting to make accounts on there now

Does anyone know how to get cute cookie cutters and pie tins? I can't find anything with just google translating the words.

>>6890957

Ebay and Amazon. Like a sickness.

>mfw "Origin Post is preparing shipment" for THREE FUCKING WEEKS

>>6890611

If I were you, I'd just unpackage it in the laundry room and put it in the dryer immediately, it will destroy any bugs inside.

>>6890626
it's clearly a buttnose sad face.

I'm looking for studs and small gems encased in a metal finding. Any recommendations?

Does anyone know of any shops that sell this dress? I remember about a year ago someone posted a link but unfortunately I did not save it.

>>6891958
Search onespo + cat (+dress?). I know I saw it on the first page looking through onespo before, sorted sales most to least.
Speaking of which I'm searching for that dress in white, but all I can find it is in black.

Also asking for help, I bookmarked this probably a half a year ago: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=20179781000 But it's out of stock and I can't find it anywhere else, so requesting some help. I've searched "onespo sweater" "onespo heart" but no luck.

Here's a short review of some tokyo bopper replicas I bought! They aren't an-tai-na, they're from another shop. A good amount cheaper than an-tai-na as well.

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=14039915622

I bought a size 44, I wear a US 10 and normally get 43 from taobao, but usually 43s are a bit snug on me, moreso than I would like (it's not unbearable, I'm just used to having a little bit of room in there. with taobao shoes usually my toe is just pressed right up against the tip of the shoe, no leeway). The 44s fit, they are maybe a smidge big, but I imagine if I had gone with the 43s it would have been much too tight. (43.5 would have been perfect!) Also, you're gonna need to wear some gel insoles with these shoes as they aren't very comfortable. Luckily I've got plenty of room for squishy insoles, I imagine if I had bought the 43 there just wouldn't be enough room in the shoe for them.

That aside, I quite like them! I'd probably give them a 7 or 8 out of 10

>>6890044
>>6890408

I know CP takes longer than the usual shops, but the fact that none of my items were custom and the fact they're not replying to my SS has gotten me worried. I'm not sure if it's CP that's messing up or my SS or maybe I'm just overreacting.

My ThePinkSavior order finally arived at TBR, the shop needs now about 10 days for making orders because of the rising popularity but you can get everything in custom sizes now when requested. It is already the 3rd time I ordered from this shop and the quality of leather improved but some things got a tiny bit more prices because of this.

>>6892114
*pricey, derp

>>6891990
What SS are you using?

>>6892124
TBS

>>6892133
It's probably not your SS then, TBS is usually great about this sort of thing, not like Bihner which freaks out after a week and refunds you.

I wouldn't say you're overreacting though, 2 months is a long time, even by CP standards. You might want to consider asking TBS if they can get a refund if CP remains uncommunicative.

Anyone know any good stores for kodona besides Infanta?

Checked all the store spreadsheet but couldn't find anything.

>>6892182

Hey seagulls! It's been said Romwe is just taobao shit with the prices bumped up.
So I was wondering, do you guys know where I could find something like
http://www.romwe.com/cutout-black-leggings-p-59768.html
pic related.
Not really sure what to call them.. cut out black leggings? Kinda a weird name. They look like suspender leggings. I dunno.
Thanks in advance~

>>6892877
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.58.uRQL5b&id=20766255214
?

>>6892877
Ah, I just saw a pair of these on Forever 21.
They called them Garter Leggings.

>>6892877
these are fug, the literally look like if some dumbass made like athletic shorts into garters and attached thigh highs to that.

>>6892880
Perfect! Thanks so much, anon.

>>6892877

Picked up a pair at hot topic of all places on sale for like $12

>>6892889
Welp. It's good no ones forcing you to wear 'em, anon.

>>6892889
Not the anon who requested these, but I quite like them. They only look silly out of context, the main idea seems to be that the garters are low enough you could wear a nearly knee-length skirt/shorts and still show flashes of the garter design.

There is a lot of stuff on forever21 that is straight from taobao. 'made in china' has taken on new meanings for me.

>>6892975
Like which products? I would love to know what stores on Taobao has F21 stuff.

>>6893003
It's not really any stores in particular. Maybe it's just me, I don't really browse by store I just search products. I would suggest, if you find anything nice on F21 or romwe or even Urban Outfitters that you search relevant keywords on taobao. You might find the source or a really close dupe.

How long does it usually take for tracking numbers to register with EMS?

It's been a few days since I got my tracking number but every time I search it I get no results. I figured I'm being impatient, but I would like to follow it and see if it gets held up at customs or not.

Could anyone link the Creepyyeha harness knockoffs please? It was posted here once but I lost it

>>6890957
I buy all my stuff from ebay. It's so much cheaper if you're only getting a couple of things. I also recently started to use Aliexpress, which have a little more selection than ebay.

>>6893060
wait a week

>>6893370
My mom put me onto Aliexpress. If I just want a few things and I'm not going to do a regular TB order that's where I buy my stuff these days.

>>6893464
Yeah, I always cringe when I see people here buying things that you can find over there for the same price, but with free shipping.

>>6893464
>>6893469
I'm trying to into aliexpress but I'm confused as to why it isn't in chinese. Taobao has ruined me.

>>6893370
>>6893464
>>6893469
Would you guys mind explaining when it's cheaper to use which service? Like are there specific items it's better to get on Ebay or Aliexpress? I remember anon saying that jewelry and tattoo tights were better to buy on Ebay, but what about Aliexpress?

Anybody know where I could find see-through chiffon shit?

>>6893500
Basically, if it's a cheap item, look for it on eBay and Aliexpress. I think Aliexpress has a better range and is more likely to have items from TaoBao on it. As for what items to look for on eBay and what to look for on Aliexpress, you'll need to do your own research as it will depend on both your item and your location.

>>6893524
There are millions with millions of styles. It's sooooo easy to find if you type keywords into taobao. Translate the words for "transparent" and "shirt" and off you go ~

>>6893529
Huh. I got the impression that Aliexpress was just for bulk buying? Shows what I know.

>>6893535

Awesome, thank you.

>>6893536
I think that's alibaba. But yeah, for small items like jewelry or headbands, some shops have a minimum mixed purchase amount or they'll charge you for shipping. Most I've seen are 10 or 15 dollars but I've also seen 8 or 1pc minimum order.

>>6893372
But in a weeks time, if it isn't held up by customs, my package will possibly already be here, won't it?

Doesn't that make tracking kind of pointless?

>>6890967
>taobao stores are starting to make accounts on there now
Which ones? I'm so new to taobao it hurts.

Does /cgl/ ever do taobao group orders? If not, where would i go to join one? I just want those damn VW winged sandals, and maybe the VW horns tiara and an orb necklace. Is there a /cgl/ taobao group on LJ? I don't have an account but I can make one.

>>6894686
It'd be a very dumb thing since we're all living in different places. Check with your local communities.

>>6894714

There are no local communities, I live in north Florida.

>>6894774
Local friends then?

>>6894774
Try hitting up people at unis? People at FSU/UF/etc will probably have some sort of community interested in that sort of thing.

I think I'm in love.
This coat is so cute, it's insane. Is it worth it to by coats of of taobao, and stuff taobao in general? It's cheap, but that shipping.

>>6894813
its not worth buying one thing, its better to order in bulk. and since it's taobao the coat is most likely a replica of dreamv, which you could order from instead and it would actually be cheaper.

>>6894824

>>6894799

I have one so far who wants a pair of the same shoes, but a 2-person order for 3 pairs of shoes isn't really worth it.

>>6894802

I'll ask some friends if they mind checking for me in between classes. Worth a shot I guess.

>>6894861
Lurk more here and then suddenly you'll want a ton of things!

>>6894938
This is the truth. I had to stop checking this thread for a while.

You could buy this.. puppy-crocodile thing? It looks friendly.

I bought a dildo from china once, it came shoved into a plastic packaging that was too small for it, wrapped in a plastic sheet (like plastic wrap), and had some foul, toxic smelling slippery grease substance coated on it UNDER THE PLASTIC. I washed, boiled, and let it air out but the smell never went away. It made me feel sick, just by the smell.

If it wasn't so hard to find realistic dildos that are under 6" or too wide, it might not have taken me a week to throw it out. I would have done so immediately, but I felt that maybe I could save it with a good cleaning.

Freeze them sub zero asap! Best way to kill and not harm your items!

>>6894992
Isn't the average size something like 5"?

It shouldn't be that difficult to find someone with you preferred size.

Captcha: fuldwen length

>>6895030

I did not think of this. Though i don't know if it will help, I want to say the smell reminds me of formaldehyde, it's really strong and sick smelling...

>>6895032

I thought so, but so far the only 2 guys I've really been attracted to were 8.5" and 7". They're both great guys, but, I don't really want a sexless relationship.

>>6895049
Holy crap that's porn star length. I am so sorry anon. Ouch.

>>6895049
It's pretty effective that a few entrepreneurs rent out huge freezers for people with bedbug infestations.

>>6895049
You'll find a good guy for you eventually anon! When I found the perfect boyfriend, I pas praying his dick wouldn't be an 8" monster, and it's 5"7 and perfect. Sometimes it still hurts if he rams it in too hard though.

>>6895066

Yes. I have yet to discover how to inquire as to a man's penis size without seeming eager or easy. Unfortunate, because it hurts to stop seeing someone you care about because you can't have sex with them.

>sage for no longer taobao related

>that feel when bf's dick is too big

>>6895076

I already keep my nylons in a minifridge because a Chinese lady told me it would make them more durable, I can maybe put it in there and move them to a drawer for a while to avoid the stink.

>>6895079

I found the perfect one, he was the 7". Now years later, he lives in the woods outside the city and bangs hippy girls for weed and beer. He's gone to shit.

>>6894986
Oh god, I need this. Probably a bitch to ship, though.

>>6894938

I almost hate to say it because I hate tumblr like a sickness, but I'm kind of a fan of the creepycute-sans-pastels and pink and soft fashion punk/goth look. Cross shirts, skeleton tights, little horn clips, spiked headbands, RHS/Creepers, etc. But also with a little Korean b-boy type crap like BIG BANG "one of a kind" shirts, snapbacks, high tops and such.

And then in my spare time I dress like a dirty hippie.

Ah, TBS just sent me this picture of my items!!
I just asked for the prices of EMS and SAL... I need my items before August 16, would SAL be pushing it?
I'm in Texas btw!

>>6895221
id say ems just for the security of the items - i've heard SAL can take anywhere from a month to 6 months, and if that shit gets lost there isnt much you can do

>>6895221
I've never had SAL take more than a month for me and I'm in the States as well, so you should be fine, I think?

Also, link to the black and cream shoes?

>>6895235
er, I meant the ones with the bows.

Sage for double post.

>>6895221
I'd say go with SAL. All my SAL packages have taken anywhere from 1.5 - 4 weeks to arrive, and contrary to what >>6895233
is saying, you can get SAL packages insured. Just ask your SS to do it.

>>6895221
link to white oxfords and that basket? looks adorable!!

On the discussion on SAL - what has been the longest time you've waited on a SAL parcel and where do you live? Trying to figure out whether it's worth picking SAL over EMS this time... I'd prefer to have the parcel here in a month so I can work on cutting wigs and all before the big con.

>>6895300
Really depends where you live. California is always fast, but be wary of that holiday coming up on the 12th or so.Always slows everything down and causes backups.

>>6895307
Fuck, I was gonna include that in my post - thank you. I'm up in scandinavia.

>>6895300

I'm in Sweden and SAL usually takes 2-4 weeks for me.

The best option depends on how much more you're willing to pay for faster shipping. If you're in scandinavia the price different between SAL and EMS probably isn't that big either.

I ended up going with EMS, even though it was $30 more, I don't want to risk not getting my items in time. Better safe than sorry!

My next order definitely won't have a time constraint so I'll definitely use SAL then

You can also get a hand steamer and steam the shit out of your stuff. We had a bed bug problem in my building and the pest control management brought in were pretty meh. We also couldn't afford to bring in people on our own so we bought a hand steamer for 20 dollars, one with a narrow nozzle so you can get into every nook and cranny. After I did the bed, the drawers, etc., I put some of that DE in a squeeze bottle and lightly sprinkled it around. I haven't had a problem in months. If you're gonna go the DIY route, be through.

>>6895407
Same here, took less than 3 weeks last time

Taobabies, my parcel has been in Shanghai since the 7th of May. According to Royal Mail (I'm in the UK), the status is 'Advised'.

Am I ever going to see my parcel again?

Everyone needs this shirt:

>>6895728
Oh God, if I hadn't just wrapped up my order and had it sent out I'd tack that on in a hurry.

I'd probably never wear it, but it'd be a great novelty shirt. Maybe to the music festival I'm going to.

question- has anyone used yanwen express/toll global express for shipping? I checked the FAQ and it wasn't specifically listed. i just want to make sure it's legit since it's the cheapest option my SS is offering. My package is 6.3kg for reference.

Is it advisable to have a package sent out after the holidays or before the holidays? I'm using EMS this time


My stuff are ready to go but I'm worried about the upcoming holiday.

>>6895221

Cute order <3!!!
Can I have the link to the cutsew and basket?

I for some reason was under the impression that aliexpress was always a milanoo-type thing...is the stock photo always what you're gonna get? So much cute stuff on there

MY PACKAGE CAME IN TODAY YAY.

Not sure if it was worth it, but EMS was fast this time. Sent out on 31st of March, came today... so around 6-7 working days. I used EMS because I wanted a better chance of my package coming in less than three weeks.

(For the record, I paid 87 USD for 4.1 kg of items)

Too bad my friend didn't tell me and by the time she did I was already on the other side of town.

Too bad the post office is closed this weekend.

Too bad I have to wait until Monday.

>let me whine about my first world problems

>>6895221

I'm >>6896120 and I'd say go with SAL. SAL generally comes within a month and the longest it's ever taken for me was four and a half weeks. And >>6895280 is right, you can get it insured.

Did you mean 31st of May? I'm confused

>>6896128
>dat collar
do want.

>>6896120
>>6896134

Yeah, whoops, I meant 31st of May. Apologies for the confusion.

So I was going to add this to my order (with bhiner.)
>http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=16934868189&spm=2014.12478257.0.0

They replied and told me that it was sensitive goods, and to ship at my own risk. I asked for clarification, but they just repeated themselves. I don't understand why it's sensitive, is it because it's metal? I ordered a few dishes too and they said the same thing for that, but I assumed it was because they're breakable.
Does anybody know why they're not too keen on shipping this?

>>6896377
They mean either fragile or sex related most likely. Sometimes customs will confiscate sex toys, so I'm thinking they're warningabout this item specifically because of that. For things like dishes it's probably because they are fragile. Just tell them it's okay with you and they'll order them anyways.

Does bhiner still have that 40% discount on ems? When do they apply it? Is it before check out of the 2nd payment or after?

>>6896409

...is it illegal to order sex things? Why does customs sometimes take them?

>>6896430
It's not because it's illegal it's because they can possibly be selling them to minors.

>>6894826
Thank you, anon! Does rakuten ship directly to the US? I might just shop there.

>>6896433
Oh no! Not that anon but I was about to buy a cute paddle and bondage set and vibrator but I'm not underaged. Will they still confiscate it all?

>>6896535
Some Rakuten shops don't but Dreamv does. I've ordered from there before and it's arrived to me (NYC) in about a week days. I have a couple dresses, a coat, and a bathing suit and everything is super good quality and has lasted long.

>>6896544
Different Anon than you're asking, too, but somehow I doubt Chinese Customs will go through the time to hunt down your personal info and figure out if you're legal age or not.

They probably just take them on a random basis like everything else.

>>6896578
Damn it. Why do they have to do that? The same set I want on Taobao for $4 is $35 on Ebay... Will they take it away if it's pic related? None of it's shaped like dicks or anything.

>>6896585
Just risk it anon. It's only four bucks. Just like how some people got by through customs with replicas, some people don't. Same goes for shit like that.

>>6896585
Are you gonna use that one someone else or get someone to use it on you?

>>6896585
Do you have a link for the item in the attached photo? I'd love to order something like that. Sorry if you already posted it or something.

>>6896616
I was only concerned because shipping costs will still make it end up being more than $4, but still a lot less than Ebay's $35 for it. Thanks for helping me!
>>6896619
It's for my boyfriend to use on me. I like to be tied up and when I saw that set I fell in love with it!

>>6896631
It doesn't look like it'll weigh that much to make your package hugely overweight...unless you are making a small order or something. Otherwise, I'd still risk it.

>>6896585
Well since it's not a vibrator or anything similar they might just see it as part of some type of costume or something. Like the previous anon said it's only $4, might as well risk it. Are you ordering anything else? Some people ask their shopping service to pack replicas and other items like these at the bottom since sometimes customs just does a quick look through on packages.

>>6896629
Sure! And whoops it was actually $5 but that's still not bad at all.
Here's the link!
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z0d.1.1000638.164.iKyPBT&id=17880946161

>>6896638
Thank you so much. I hope that you manage to get it okay, and enjoy it!

>>6896635
Okay! I've never actually ordered stuff from Taobao before so I don't know much about how things work. And okay! I think I'll try to get it.
>>6896637
I'm ordering a bunch of other stuff.. I have 4 cosplays in the cart, 2 wigs, and some clothes. How do you tell the shopping service to do that? That'd be great.

>>6896641
I hope so too! And if you're getting it I hope you also get it okay. It looks really nice from the picture.

>>6896585
>>6896585
I need this too! Do you have a link? And usually they only take stuff like plugs, dildos and holes, sometimes vibrators, but not the egg ones or anything.

Lets buy bondage gear together and see if we get it, anon!

>>6896647
Yeah that set doesn't look like it'll add that much weight based off the cart stuff you mentioned.

Not the anon that said to tell your SS but you can tell them by emailing them or messaging or however you contact them usually depending ont he SS.

>>6896409

Ahh okay, thanks.
I actually have a few other sex toys in my order, including a glass butt plug and some cuffs, they didn't mention anything to me about those. I'm not sure if I should take the risk or not, it's my first large order and I'd be devastated if it was destroyed or something.

>>6896647
Some shopping services have an "online chat" type of message service. Others go through email. And some have a message box available when you put in your order. What shopping service are you using?

>>6896653
I have a link! I posted it here
>>6896638
And that'd be awesome! I have no idea what shopping service to use though. What do you recommend?

>>6896654
>>6896657
Thank you so much! I'll have to tell them then. And I'm not sure yet, this is my first time ordering.

>>6896662
I've ordered similar things from taobaospree with little problem, but if people are having issues with them then maybe I should switch to someone else.

>>6896663
I've used Taobaospree twice and it went well. Right now I have an order with Pruany which is also going well. There's a spreadsheet of all the shopping services with pros, cons, and reviews in the first post.

>>6896666
Okay I'll have to try out that site then! I'm always concerned about shipping though. What if I accidentally underestimate my cart's weight and don't have enough money for my order?

>>6896680
You can get them to give you all the estimates up front when you send in the spreadsheet. You just have to ask.

>>6896671
I've looked through the sheet a lot and most of the sites seem pretty good. I just like to know what other people have been using though because that means that that site's probably safe to use. And why did you switch from Taobaospree to Pruany?

>>6896682
Oh that's awesome! Thank you!

>>6896683
The sheet was made from people who have used those SS before.
There's even links to reviews on there. I pick a SS based off what I want rather than what other people used (though they also are taken into consideration).

...That's why I made it anyway.

As for your other concern about estimation of shipping, that takes practice. Weigh stuff similar to your order and go from there.

>>6896683
Well my orders have always been pretty small. First order was 4 items and next was about 6. Now I'm doing a 16 item purchase and Pruany have a 55% discount for EMS shipping which is good since I want this package before the 27th for a concert I'm going to (I have a problem with perfecting outfits for certain outings). A good 50% of my purchase are Liz Lisa replicas and a few months ago the people in customs upped their pace on confiscating replicas. Because of that some shopping services, Taobaospree included, were a bit weary with ordering replicas. I think I heard about TBS just flat out denying replicas in any orders. So I switched mainly because of that. My two prior Taobao orders had Liz Lisa replicas in them and they all arrived safely; I just don't want to take the risk of losing them so I switched to Pruany. But I'm going to ask them to remove all the tags from the clothes and pack them at the bottom of the package just to be safe.

>>6896701
Oh okay! I am just a pretty clueless person and know I'll order from a horrible site if I don't know how the site was for people who used it. I just want a site with really cheap shipping. I don't care how long it would take to get to my house, I just want my stuff to turn out okay!
>>6896706
Oh okay! And that's pretty smart. I'd be really upset if some of my stuff was taken away by customs.

>>6896656

Actually to add to this, would I be safer getting it in a smaller order? Larger orders are usually stopped more, right? I have a bunch of plates, blankets, pillows, plushies and misc clothing.

>>6896732
I did a massive order recently and instead of one big parcel, I made it three. The largest of the three still got caught and held, but it helped a lot with customs.
(Annoyingly, the replica items were Jeffrey Campbell shoes and they were in the stopped parcel, so I mass panicked for a few days! Got them no bother though.)

>>6896747

Do you know the weight of the packages offhand? I think the total of all my items will be about 10kg. I never thought about splitting it up.

>>6896760
Oh no, you'll want to split that up. I'm pretty much sure I read (but do correct me if I'm wrong) that you will gather a lot of attention if it's about 10kg as that's seen as 'commercial'.

I split my ones into three, I tried to be as close to 3.5kg per parcel as possible (as that was the best weight equality and price for shipping) and they ended up being 2.4, 3.5 and 3.7. 3.7 got stopped as it was slightly larger size wise also than the other two.

>>6896773

Sorry to ask so many questions but do know the price and shipping you chose? I was going to go with airmail because it was the best price (excluding dhl and sal) but I don't know if EMS would be better.

>>6896760
>>6896747
How do you discuss with your shopping service what to split up or weather to keep it in one big package? And what's the best way to do it so it's less expensive?

>>6896778
Same as messaging the other shit you want to talk about with your SS (i.e. the putting stuff in the bottom of your package). Depends on the SS and were mentioned in the posts above.

>>6896779
Not that anon but there are calculators if you estimated your packages' weight online. Read FAQ.

>>6896778
I used YOYBUY so I was able to choose this myself (I got to choose what went into which parcel and how many items etc.), so I think it's better for the other seagulls to answer this one, but I would think it to be as simple as talking to/emailing them about your situation and stating what you wish to happen.

Just wanted to add that I used SAL. I asked my local lolitas the same questions you are haha, I was going to 10kg it, but they advised me not to. They added that EMS usually gets caught a lot more than SAL as well. I found that SAL was also the cheapest option out of all the other shipping options and it arrived in 10 days (I'm from the UK; Its estimated time of arrival was actually something more like 20 days.)

>>6896779
Hey, don't worry about asking questions. My order I speak about was my first one too, and I was just like how you are right now! I'm just glad to help you in getting this right.

on the subject of sex toys, and this is a long shot here, does anyone know the term for or a shop where i could get one of those tentacle dildos?

>>6887669
Wait, you asked if dream-v was legit? Really? Haha! Yeah it is, but it's the bodyline of gyaru...

>>6896825

The google translated search term is "触手假阳具" but it only comes up with one thins, which is not what you're looking for.

>>6896585
I know, right? I'm so scared I'll get my package and half my shit will be seized at customs (even though I don't think anything is really in violation, nor do I imagine yours would be!)

I just take everything as a risk situation when it comes to chinese customs. But like everyones saying, $4, if you're ordering it with some other things to make up for the cost of shipping/fees it seems worth the risk.

Hope it worths out for you, anyway!

About the splitting parcel thing, a few weeks ago I received my SAL package from Yoybuy to US it was 10.1kg full of many electronic sex toys for resale and clothes, it didn't get repacked or anything, went through fine. It's probably just good luck though.

I want to buy this nubra knockoff, but I can't for the life of me figure out what the different options are. Google translate's just giving me variations on "heavy exporting debit." Any help?

That's not very much. The heaviest thing is the belt? If you use EMS, shipping should around $50.

>>6898009
awesome! I picked ems this time instead of DHL

>>6896962

Careful. The customs person just might find out through your package that they're really into bondage...

All joking aside, best of luck with your package. Looking forward if you do happen to review - I'm thinking about it for the next order myself.

>>6898023
I'll be sure to review it for you when I get it! It looks like a really cute set and well worth it for just a few dollars. I'll also be sure to tell tell /cgl/ if customs ends up taking it after all.

Taobao SS spreadsheet anon here.

Just a fun little tidbit that happened to me yesterday and continued today. Someone emailed me (with the email I list on the spreadsheet) asking if the checklist was updated and that he wants to buy about 200 mini toys. I say it's updated and that ordering that many toys might make customs think you're a reseller and you might get taxed.

After a few more replies, he asked me
>When you are able, can you tell me the price to order everything, along with your fee?
>In addition, can the seller of the first item (with the 70 units) be negotiated with?

Oh. I didn't know he thought I was a SS. I thought he was just asking general Taobao questions.

Sage because not my blog, etc but I thought it was amusing a little.

>>6895300
My longest package from China using SAL was probably a month. I live in CA, USA. From Japan, my longest package with SAL was a month and one or two weeks.

What's a search term for oxfords? I looked in the dictionary, but I can't find it.

>>6898180

Hahaha! About time you guys found out. Taobao has tons of racist terms.

Lucaille for wigs
I literally watched an anime yesterday because they made a wig for the main character. It was good.

I don't know if this is worth bringing up, but just a couple of points about dollypoddle:

- She no longer uses LJ at all. She both confirmed this on FB, and she hasn't replied to any orders on LJ since October. The SS sheet gives the impression that LJ, whilst a shitty option is still an option. This might want to be amended?

- She recently had a baby and is slow as fuck now. She hasn't replied to any FB orders since around 23rd May. She updated on the 27th saying she'd given birth, and that's the last time she's been online.

Honestly, as lovely as the girl is I think it'd be advisable to post a warning on the SS sheet to avoid ordering through her until she gets back on top of things.

Did I mention YO SS SPREADSHEET ANON?

No problem. As I said in my comment she's a lovely girl and a great SS, but she's obviously very busy with the baby. I could see her getting overwhelmed very quickly, if she hasn't been already. That would suck both for her and the customer.

People definitely shouldn't write her off forever, but right now she can't really provide a reliable service. Down the line, she'll hopefully be able to commit more time to the Taobao service again. For now though, the last thing she needs is the stress of a load of orders she can't reliably conduct.

Honestly, I think she should just take a break. Her customers are loyal and i'm sure she could build herself back up again when she returned.

This anon, I was going to try shipping just that item through airmail, hopefully I'll have a better chance.

Gulls, is there any way to ship nail polish? I've looked on EMS and DHL (the options I always use for shipping) websites and neither of them say you can't, DHL just says that if it makes a mess it's your problem, and to wrap it.

Any experiece?

Are there any good lolita replica shops on taobao? Trying to find a honey cake one.

>>6900584
I don't think so, I was looking at a leaflet about UK customs and it does say you can't post nail polish, I can't remember the reason, maybe it's flammable?

>>6900653
That is why, yes. Also because they don't want to be held responsible if the container breaks and spills all over everything.

Same goes for liquid fragrances. A lot of countries will not let these items in or out of the country. Many won't let you post it through regular mail at all, but people will find other ways to sneak it through, or use private couriers who allow it.

>>6900682
Awh man, I really want to stock up on some nail polishes. Ah well.

Just got my small shitty order in today from the post office. And biked it all the way back. Hell yeah for having a bag just big enough for the box. Not so hell yeah for nearly crashing into a car after I lost balance.

Anyways, if anyone wants photos, reviews, links, etc, feel free to ask.

>>6901377
Review the Little Dipper skirt please!

>>6901377
It's been a while since I came to cgl, this being a small order is making me feel old. Nice haul!

It seems like ThePinkSavior just found out where Yeha gets her hearts from, just showed the improved design.

>>6901377
Review of the Magic Tea Party dress, please?

Laser cat anon, why have you forsaken us?

>>6901459
And the new hearts.

>>6901377
>biking hauls back to house
I thought I was the only one that does this. I however sometimes don't have bags big enough and sort of rest the package on lap/handlebars.

I can't count the amount of times I've been readjusting my package and nearly gone into a car/inanimate object.

>>6901486
> readjusting my package
Read this part first for some reason and thought this was an entirely different post.

>>6901459
Bless your heart.

In a word, the skirt is poofy. Pics speak for themselves. On the left, the skirt is quite poofy on its own without a petti, and on the right, I'm wearing a CP "everyday" A-line petti (the one with less poof). Needless to say, the skirt is quite poofy on its own and would be great if you need extra poof to a skirt on top of being a nice underskirt.

Construction wise, it's not bad at all, but there are some things which aren't perfect. The greatest gripe I have is with waistband, which is quite wavy and deformed? The waistband itself is not elasticated and has no give, and doesn't have interfacing which probably contributes to the wavy problem. The gathering seems okay, but seems a little uneven in places. Seams are finished and I'm rather pleased with how even the seams on the skirt are - tiny and quite neat especially on the chiffon part. I'm also really impressed with the pleating and ruffles- it's pretty even throughout and that's what pretty much contributes to the skirt being the way it is. There's a substantial cotton lining which is quite nice as well. The skirt's held together with a zipper and button combo, but the zipper doesn't really have enough give and I have to kind of wiggle it past the butt area to get it on. And very small thing, but there was one long trailing thread that I had to cut off.

The sizing is actually fairly nice. I specified a 65 cm waistband, which I thought would be too large but it turned out to be pretty perfect.

As for the color, I was expecting a more yellowy color, but the skirt's quite white. When I compare it to my petti though, it's actually a bit more yellow. So it's probably just me and my color retardedness thinking it'd be more yellow.

Overall, despite the flaws, I like this skirt quite a bit. I'd give it a 4/5 as an underskirt, but the weird waistband really downgrades it to a 3.5/5 as a standalone skirt.

>>6901465

Ah, sorry for the confusion! I actually only bought the bolero, not the actual dress (should have circled the bolero). Would you still like a review/pics of the bolero?

>>6901421

Oh yeah, it's this joke from a while back when this self dubbed "shitty small order troll" would comment on everyone's (sometimes large) orders as being "small and shitty" and commenting on everyone's shitty taste. The joke stuck. I agree though. This order was not small, especially money wise. My wallet still cries from it. But thank you! I was definitely very pleased with my order this time, a pleasant surprise especially since I didn't have high expectations for some of the items.

>>6901486

Oh man, I thought I was the only one too lol. First time I did it too. I just moved house, so the post office is actually bikable to. This presents itself as a series of new advantages and problems. I was lucky that the box barely fit the bag. And that the car wasn't an ass and slowed down, I suppose.

Did you ever buy fabrics for cosplay from taobao?
If yes,could I hear some reviews?

>>6901459
>>6901473
I bought some from them, they fell apart as I was adjusting them. Anyone who buys them give thema shot of nail glue/super glue around the studs.

>>6901511
Awesome, thanks a bunch. It looks super poofy and fabulous. I've been wanting a pretty chiffon skirt and I've been trying to choose between that one and the Dear Celine one in my pic. I'm just not sure if the DC one is two pieces or one.

>>6901577

I really wanted the DC one actually! I ended up not getting it though, because the DC one I felt was not flexible enough. DC comes in two pieces - a vest and the skirt. The skirt comes with the overskirt built in/on, if that's what you're talking about. I can't comment on DC quality myself but I heard it's very good.

And I definitely still would recommend little dipper's skirt. The fabric's very chiffony and light, which is perfect for summer. Just be careful of the wavy waistband (I may be needing a belt to cover it) and make sure your waist measurements are correct, because the waistband itself as well as the zipper are pretty unforgiving. I think that's all I have to say for now.

>>6901646
Damn, I had been hoping that the DC one didn't have the built in overskirt. That's definitely a deal breaker.

What's strange though is that the Taobao listing for the skirt says that it's fully elasticized.
Sucks that the waist band of yours is deforming. My MC skirt is doing the same thing, weighing it down under some books seems to be helping though.

>>6901679

Yeah, that's sort of what broke it for me too. It's a beautiful piece but just not the flexible kind of item I wanted in my wardrobe, especially since I already had MC and am waiting for Magic Astres.

And I thought it was fully elasticized as well. It's really weird. Ah well... thank god I actually chose a larger waist size. And oh hey, you're that anon! I'm really sorry that had to happen to your MC - but hopefully some flattening will work its wonders. I think I'll try that myself once I get everything sorted out in this house.

>>6889111
Any help with this guys? I'm sorry I wrote it kinda fast and looking back it sounds silly, but I know those shirts are from Taobao. Is there any way to reverse image search TB for them? When I try with Google I just get different resellers and such.

>>6901704
Yeah, I could probably take the overskirt off, but unless I see the construction up close I can't be sure.

At least now I know to get a slightly large size, so thanks! Yeah, that's me haha. It's ok, just really unfortunate. I have it sitting under a few GLBs and that seems to be helping a little. I might make a duct tape dress form with a ~28 inch waist and see if having it like that helps, because the tag on MC actually says not to iron it.

Any Serah (or even Lumina) wigs to recommend?

Has anyone bought these muchacha cat bags? If so, how much do they weight?

So... after waiting for nearly 3 months on CP, I decided to cancel that particular order. I'll possibly try again in the future. Should I stick with my current SS (TBS) to do it, or switch to another one? Or stick to TBS but go with another agent.

> Or should I try to find pettis from someplace else?

>>6902535
Get a petti from another shop

Dear Celine makes good pettis

>>6901459
oh shit these look great

New thread guys:
>>6902545

This one has been autosaging for a while now.

>>6901715
I really don't think so.

The best I can imagine is doing a reverse image search of each image separately in google, then when it comes up in the search box, add "site:www.taobao.com" to it. I don't think it'll do anything for you, but you can try. You can also try putting the word taobao in quotation marks in your search, so it specifically searches for that word.

Your best bet is honestly just searching any terms you think would be remotely similar to the shirts you want (trying what re-sellers have titled or described them as would be a start).
